114 | Forward Folds | with Lara Heimann

In today's episode I cover what to do instead of a seated forward fold. I get this question a lot. When I say I never do it, I'm not saying it’s wrong. If it feels good, I'm not telling you not to do it. But I'm offering you some other ways to get that same feel-good sensation from a forward fold. When people do a seated four fold, and they really love it, what they love is the feeling of that pull. Because the back part of the body, if we're flexing a lot during the day, meaning we're just compressed, that back part of the body wants to do the opposite. So we want to open that up and extend it. Tune in for a few alternative poses that will give you a better, safer stretch.
